UI engineer and web developer.

I’m an engineer and interested in how people interact with technology. I also love to work with professionals of other disciplines so I work on user interfaces. I’m passionate about the web so I work on web user interfaces. (You could also call it HTML5 app and web frontend development.)

As a JavaScript freelancer my most enterprisey job I did was for GLS as an IBM subcontractor and my most startuppy for 5apps. I’ve also been employed working on pretty advanced online product advisors at excentos.

Education is the answer to most of society’s challenges and I feel privileged to be part of the powerful tech industry. That’s why I’m involved with OpenTechSchool. I want the tech scene to be more diverse and I want to give something back. But it is also a lot of fun and very inspiring. I also blog.

Currently I’m trying myself out as a business person so I’m part of the Halvtone team where we developed a business idea and a pilot product that we’re trying to actually sell to people…

HTML5 is developing towards a universal platform for applications while the open web is threatened by central monopolies like facebook. I sympathize with the unhosted movement and I’m a member of the remoteStorage community.

I’m proud I managed to create this page. I didn’t manage to create a blog, yet. There’s a very old blog around still, mostly in German.
